Controlling flow-induced segregation in a granular mixture is highly relevant to many industrial settings. To enhance mixing or promote segregation, the continuous gravity flow of a bidisperse granular mixture through a series of narrow…
In a half-filled rotating drum, the size segregation of particles of equal density builds a ring pattern of the large particles, whose location continuously varies from the periphery to the center depending on the size ratio between…

We study mixing and diffusion properties of passive scalars driven by $generic$ rough shear flows. Genericity is here understood in the sense of prevalence and (ir)regularity is measured in the Besov-Nikolskii scale $B^{\alpha}_{1,…
Fluid mixing usually involves the interplay between advection and diffusion, which together cause any initial distribution of passive scalar to homogenize and ultimately reach a uniform state. However, this scenario only holds when the…
